EastEnders spoilers: Phil Mitchell reveals that he is going to die

There’s a devastating turn of events for the Mitchell clan in EastEnders as Phil refuses to go on the transplant list and concedes that he is going to die. As his loved ones try and persuade him to fight for his life, it appears that his decision is well and truly final this time – so is the end really nigh?

When Phil is told that he can now be considered for the transplant list after being sober for six months, the clan is jubilant until the doctor warns that he may not get a liver in time due to his condition not improving.

A subdued Phil barely reacts and Ronnie realises all is not well – and she is right to be concerned as he admits that he doesn’t feel like he deserves a new liver. Ronnie pleads with him not to give up and Louise and Sharon are worried for his state of mind.

In order to try and perk him up, a touching surprise is arranged for Phil but it doesn’t go down as well as the Mitchells had hoped. As Phil crumbles, he reveals his decision not to go through with any tests to get on the transplant list and admits he is prepared to accept his fate.

Louise and Ben are shaken by this and Phil is frustrated as they ignore him, believing his course of action to be selfish. Sharon vows to do all she can to change his mind and Billy also gives Phil food for thought – but can anyone do enough to get through to Phil?
